"Oh? So you've developed it already? "Xiao Ben asked, surprised.
"Not quite there yet …" Doctor Kang shook his head. "But you can tell the hidden House Pi that I'll give them priority once we've developed it, as long as they support us!"
"That … That's good. I'll ask the hidden House Pi for their opinion!" Xiao Ben sighed. "But I can't promise anything …"
"Alright! We've had some misunderstandings in the past, but now we should let bygones be bygones and work together. That's the only way we can fight against Lin Yi's alliance! " Kang Guifeng said. "That marriage between our two families … I think we can continue with it …"
Kang Guifeng was thinking further. If Zhaolong were to marry Xinyan, that would solidify his position in House Kang, since House Kang and Xiao Family's interests were intertwined. It was undeniable that a marriage was a huge bargaining chip!
"Hm … That's something I can consider, but we'll talk about it after we get through this!" Xiao Ben didn't decline. It was just a marriage between a niece with a different surname and House Kang, after all. He couldn't be too calculative with House Kang right now.
Moreover, if the Kang family really managed to develop the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing, then their status would skyrocket. The effects of the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing were practically on par with the legendary Bone Cleansing and Marrow Cleansing Pill!
In actuality, the Bone Cleansing and Marrow Cleansing Pill was called the Greater Foundation Establishment Pill, and the Lesser Foundation Establishment Pill. The Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing, on the other hand, seemed to be even more effective than the Foundation Establishment Pill. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been sold at such a high price in the auction!
The Foundation Establishment Pill could only refine one's body, and it couldn't extend one's lifespan. The Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing, on the other hand, could do the trick.
"Alright, the bigger picture is more important!" Doctor Kang nodded. "Our House Kang will be waiting for your good news!"
At the same time, something big happened in Songshan!
Cihua brought his men to the orphanage and reported the matter to Zhao Qibing after the discussion with the headmaster broke down.
Qibing wasn't feeling too good right now. He'd lost a couple hundred million to Bloodcloak Yellow Springs Sect for no reason. He couldn't afford to offend them, but a small orphanage wasn't something he would put in his eyes!
"Cihua, take Boss Zhu with you and burn that orphanage down! Damn it, I'm giving them face but they don't want it. This time, I'll make them lose everything! " Zhao Qibing slammed the table angrily. He really felt suffocated. Ever since he came to Songshan, other than getting a qi gathering pill for House Zhao, he had accomplished nothing else. Holy Church
Becoming the head of the hidden house Zhao wasn't something that could be achieved with just one qi gathering pill- one had to have other abilities, and so Qibing had been earning money non-stop.
"Yes!" Cihua nodded. "Then I'll bring some men to prepare!"
"Do it cleanly, don't leave any evidence behind!" Qibing said. "Remember, burn it cleanly, burn all the houses in the orphanage. If they can still live after the fire is extinguished, it'll be hard to do it again."
"Don't worry, Master Bing! I'm good at this! "Cihua patted his chest and promised.
"Hm … How about this, you get ready, I'll light the fire myself!" Qibing had a fire in his heart that he hadn't vented yet, and he wanted to light the fire himself to vent it!
"No problem, I've prepared everything. Master Bing, you just need to light the fire!" Cihua said.
And so, on a dark and windy night, Qibing brought Cihua and Boss Zhu to the orphanage. There was a large amount of gasoline in the back of Cihua's pickup truck, prepared to burn the orphanage down.
"Very well, this is a good day. The weather is dry, the moon is dark, and the wind is strong. It's a good day to set a fire!" Qibing said. "Boss Zhu, go pour the gasoline, pour as much as you can. The bigger the fire, the better!"
"No problem!" Boss Zhu got out of the car and jumped into the orphanage with a huge barrel of gasoline …
Boss Zhu was an earth class master, and the orphanage's director and Xiaoke naturally wouldn't be able to sense his presence. So, Boss Zhu went back and forth a few times, pouring all the gasoline into the orphanage and the surrounding fences!
"Everything's ready, Master Bing, you can light the fire now!" Boss Zhu said.
"Well done!" Qibing got out of the car with a torch in his hand, and with a whoosh, he threw it into the orphanage's yard. He then took a few more torches from Cihua and threw them all into the orphanage!
The inside of the orphanage was instantly set ablaze!
"Haha! I'm leaving after I'm done! " Qibing clapped his hands and said happily. Setting the orphanage on fire today made him feel a lot better! Before, he was bullied by Lin Yi's follower, Wu Chentian, and he couldn't take revenge. Although his broken leg was healed by Elder Bi, the incident with Bloodcloak and Yellow Spring Sect made him want to die!
Today, with the release of the fire, the depression in his chest had finally dissipated by more than half!
Qibing and Boss Zhu got in the car, and Cihua stepped on the gas, and the truck disappeared into the night and the fire …
"Such a big fire, the orphanage will be destroyed tomorrow for sure!" Cihua said as he looked in the rearview mirror.
"This is too good! No wonder there are so many stress-relieving amusement parks, people go and destroy them, it's so fun! "Qibing said excitedly." I really want to burn another house! "
"Ha, when the head of the house comes out, we'll go burn Lin Yi's villa!" Cihua said. "We'll get even with him then!"
"Fuck, no wonder Lin Yi likes to tear down my skyscraper, it's so fun!" Qibing said regretfully. "I can't tear down a skyscraper, it'd be fun too …"
Qibing and the others returned to the Floating Cloud bar and quickly fell asleep in excitement. The orphanage, on the other hand, was extremely busy!
The first one to notice something was wrong was Xiaoke! She was depressed, but she had been sleeping late these past few days. She was sure that she was lovesick, and the image of the male thief kept appearing in her mind, causing her to have insomnia.
In the middle of the night, she dreamt of the male thief, and when she woke up, she saw the fire outside her window. She jumped in fright and rushed out of her house, only to find that the yard and the roof were on fire!
Chapter 1716 – The Building Is Burned Too?
Xiaoke couldn't care less about the things in her room anymore. She quickly went to wake the dean up. "Oh no, there's a fire! (School Beauty's Bodyguard Chapter 1716)
The dean was a light sleeper, and was woken up by Xiaoke's voice. She was shocked when she saw the situation outside, "Quick, go save the children!"
And so, Xiaoke and the dean quickly rushed into the children's dormitory!
Fortunately, both of them were descendants of the Feiyan Sect. Although they were in a sea of fire, they could always find a place to stay. The two of them risked their lives to rescue the children in the orphanage. Behind them, the orphanage was already a vast sea of fire!
The wind was strong today, and the air was dry, so the fire was out of control. From the orphanage, it was already spreading to other areas …
After saving the children, Xiaoke finally reacted. "Yes, let's call the fire department, the orphanage is going to burn!"
In the rush, the dean didn't bring her phone, and the orphanage was right next to the construction site of the slums. On the other side was the business district, but the shops were all closed at night, and it was hard to find a single person!
The dean looked around for a long time before finding a public phone booth to call the fire department, but by then, the fire had already spread to the construction site of the slums next to the orphanage …
By the time the piercing sound of the fire engine sounded, the fire was already out of control! Although a number of fire trucks came to support, due to the strong wind and the large fire, there were a lot of flammable items piled up on the construction site of the shanty town, such as wooden cubes and the like. As a result, the fire grew bigger and bigger. It was not until dawn that the fire was extinguished …
Qibing, Cihua, and Boss Zhu, on the other hand, had a good night's sleep. When they woke up the next morning, Qibing couldn't wait to get Cihua to turn on the TV. "Quick, look at the new- the orphanage is probably in ruins now!"
"Haha, that's for sure!" Cihua nodded and turned on the TV.
The three of them sat on the sofa, ready to watch the destruction of the orphanage.
"Around one in the morning, a huge fire broke out in the orphanage near the old slums. When the firefighters arrived, the fire was already out of control, and it started to spread to the construction site nearby. After the firefighters' hard work, they finally extinguished the fire at seven this morning. But the orphanage, as well as the newly built Qibing skyscraper, were all burnt to ashes … "Following the news, there was a scene of the orphanage and Qibing skyscraper being burnt down …
"Gah!" Qibing heard the news and jumped up with a whoosh! He looked at the news in disbelief. "Impossible! How is this possible? My skyscraper! "
Cihua and Boss Zhu had a bitter look on their faces as well. They didn't think that burning the orphanage would burn down the Qibing skyscraper next to it, and the most important thing was that the newly built skyscraper hadn't even been used for a day …
"Who can tell me what's going on?" Qibing kicked the TV angrily, shattering the LCD TV. It fell to the ground, creating sparks. But Qibing didn't care. How much was a TV? What he cared about now was the Qibing skyscraper!
This skyscraper had been destroyed twice since it was built. The first two times were caused by Lin Yi, but the third time, he burned it down with his own hands!
"This … Master Bing, we didn't know that it would affect the Qibing skyscraper next to it …" Cihua was troubled as well. "I just followed your instructions and found a weather that would be easy to set fire to …"
"Master Bing, I'm just following your orders, pouring the gasoline … …" Boss Zhu said with a bitter face. Neither he nor Cihua were experts in this field, nor did they have any experience. How was Cihua supposed to calculate the intensity of the fire? Boss Zhu, on the other hand, couldn't have predicted that the intensity of the fire would affect the Qibing skyscraper!
"It's not your fault …" Qibing waved his hand helplessly and sat on the ground. He should've given more money to the orphanage or built a new one somewhere else if he knew this would happen!
But it was too late for regrets now. Although Qibing's goal was achieved, the price he paid was too high!
Cihua was hoping to earn more money from this project to pay back Bloodcloak Underworld, but it seemed like it was all for naught now. Cihua had a bitter look on his face all day long.
But compared to Cihua and Qibin, the orphanage was the most difficult. The orphanage was gone, and the dean had no choice but to bring the children to a cheaper duplex loft. Hundreds of children were squeezed into a three hundred square meter room, and it wasn't an exaggeration to say that it was a squeeze!
Xiaoke had gotten a lot of money for the orphanage a while ago, but it wasn't enough to rebuild the orphanage. After all, they couldn't rebuild the orphanage with the old bungalows, could they? They had to make it more presentable. Xiaoke's money was reserved for the orphanage's daily expenses. If she took it out from the bank and used it to rebuild the orphanage, it wouldn't be enough. What would they do after the money was used up?
The treasures Xiaoke brought out were only worth around five million! Five million was fine if it was just for the simple construction, but it wouldn't even be enough to buy the necessary equipment if they had to build the facilities!
"This fire must've been set by someone from Zhao Qibing's company, but they didn't set it up properly and burned their own company nearby!" Ken said angrily. "They deserve it, they deserve it!"
"I'm guessing that Cihua will come to us again to discuss the swap, and this time, we'll have to do it even if we don't want to!" The dean sighed helplessly. "We really can't afford to offend the hidden House Zhao! If it were back then … Sigh … "
What the dean wanted to say was that if it were back then, she wouldn't even care about a small hidden house. But now, the Hidden Zhao Family was a colossus to her!
But Xiaoke only knew a limited amount about what happened back then, and the dean didn't want to talk too much about it. She didn't want her enemies to come and ruin their peaceful life.
